Our custom tag, as implemented in the previous note , is broken when a template is used.
Create a template file ( home-template.xhtml ):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Stric...
and a test page that uses it ( home.xhtml ):
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ui:comp...
Then request the page with URL: http://localhost:8080/facelet-demo/home.jsf?name=Jack .
You'll find that our hello tag works inside ui:repeat but fails to get the value defined by ui:param ! What's the problem? Our hello tag implementation evaluated the EL with the wrong EL context!
This is the corrected implementation:
package com.example;
import java.io.IOExcep...

In the simple taglib example , I used a tag handler class to implement a taglib. This is an example to implement a taglib with a UI component. The purpose is to use a custom tag to split a string and print each part in a separate paragraph, i.e., print
<p>john</p> <p>steve</p> <p>mike</p> with custom tag <my:foreach> : <my:foreach var="who" value="john steve mike"> ... These are the files: pom.xml <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0"... src/main/java/com/example/UIForeash.java : package com.example; import java.io.IOExcep... src/main/resources/META-INF/faces-config.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <faces-c... src/main/resources/META-INF/foreach.taglib.xml : <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <facelet...

The tags XML transform tags apply XSLT to XML documents. The XML document may be specified as the doc attribute or enclosed as the body of the <x:transform> tag. Optional <x:param> tags may be used to specify parameters for the XSLT. <x:transform> Syntax:

The tags XML flow control tags are exactly the same as their Core flow control equivalents, except that the test condition with a boolean EL expression is replaced by the select condition with an XPath expression. In the case of the forEach tag, the items attribute is replaced with the select attribute. In a test condition, the XPath expression is evaluated to a boolean value by the rules of the XPath boolean() function, which converts its argument to a boolean as follows: a number is true if and only if it is neither positive or negative zero nor NaN. a node-set is true if and only if it is non-empty. a string is true if and only if its length is non-zero. an object of...

The tags <x:parse> Parses an XML document. The document to be parsed can be specified by the doc attribute or enclosed as the body of the tag. The parsed document is exposed as the var attribute or the varDom attribute. When exposed as var , the type of the exposed object is implementation dependent; when exposed as varDom , the type of the exposed object is org.w3c.dom.Document . Objects exposed by var and varDom can both be used to set the context of an XPath expression. Syntax:
<x:parse doc="XMLDocument" {var="var" [sco... or, put the XML document in the element body: <x:parse {var="var" [scope="page|request|s... Attributes: Name Dynamic? Type Description doc true String , Reader Source XML document to be parsed. systemId true String The...

The tags <c:import> The <c:import> tag imports the contents of a URL and expose that in one of three ways: Import contents from a URL and write it out to the page (url may be relative or absolute):
<c:import url="theUrl" /> Import contents from a URL and save it to a scoped variable string named by the var attribute. Use the scope attribute to define the scope of the exported variable. <c:import url="theUrl" var="importTest" scope="ses... Import a URL and expose to a Reader object named by the varReader attribute. The scope attribute does not apply. The varReader scoped variable can only be accessed within the body of <c:import> . <c:import url="theUrl" varReader="theReader"/> <c:url> The <c:url> tag constructs a URL and writes it out to the...

Get the length of a collection The length function returns the size of a collection. It can be applied to any object supported by the JSTL core tag <c:forEach> , namely: Arrays Implementation of java.util.Collection Implementation of java.util.Iterator Implementation of java.util.Enumeration Implementation of java.util.Map String When used on String , it returns the number of characters in the string. Test it Make these additions to the expanded test application : Create a new Java class LengthFunction :

The tags <c:out> The <c:out> tag evaluates an expression and outputs the result on the page. The syntax is:
<c:out value="value" [escapeXml="{true|false}"] ... where escapeXml defaults to true and default defaults to empty string "". <c:out value="${expr}" escapeXml="false"/> is equivalent to ${expr} . If a variable is set in multiple scopes, the lower scope wins. In the following example code, attribute1 is set in request, session, and application scopes; attribute2 is set in session and application scopes; attribute3 is set in the application scope. The results are: <c:out value="${attribute1}"/> : Attribute1 request scope <c:out value="${attribute2}"/> : Attribute2 session scope <c:out value="${attribute3}"/> : Attribute3 application scope To access values in higher scopes, you have to specify the scope explicitly, like this: <c:out value="${sessionScope.attribute1}"/> : Attribute1 session...

You can use applet , object , or embed tags to embed an applet in your HTML page. However, The applet tag is interpreted by both IE and Mozilla family of browsers. The applet tag won't automatically download a JRE if the Java Plug-in isn't already installed. The object tag works only for IE The embed tag works only for Mozilla family of browsers, i.e., Firefox. Use applet tag:
<applet code="MyApplet.class" width="200" ... Use object tag: <!-- latest JRE --> <OBJECT classid="clsid:... Use embed tag: <!-- highest JRE that supports MIME type ... Mixed object and embed tag: <object classid="clsid:8AD9C840-044E-11D1-B3E9... You need to use a different name for the Mozilla embed tag and use that name to refer to the applet...

Your code will be syntax highlighted when you specify the language of your code with the BBcode code tag:
[code=lang] Your code here [/code]
where "lang" is the language of your code. For example, the following Perl code
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hello World!\n";
is rendered with:
[code=perl]
#!/usr/bin/perl
print "Hel...
The following are supported languages and their corresponding names for BBcode:
Apache conf: apacheconf, aconf, apache

The full list is available from http://pygments.org/ , which is our backend engine for syntax highlight rendering.
